                             A BETTER LIFE

  (Mr. JEFFRIES asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. JEFFRIES. Mr. Speaker, our so-called Commander in Chief is over 
in Europe where he criticized some of our closest allies as being 
delinquent. What is wrong with him? Hypocrisy is clearly not a 
constraint to behavior.
  TrumpCare, the Republican healthcare plan that would strip away 
protections for preexisting conditions and will cause premiums, copays, 
and deductibles to go up, is delinquent. The Republican tax scam, where 
83 percent of the benefits go to the wealthiest 1 percent in America to 
subsidize the lifestyles of the rich and shameless is delinquent. The 
fake Republican infrastructure plan that will do nothing to fix our 
Nation's crumbling bridges, roads, and tunnels is delinquent.
  Republicans have a raw deal. Democrats have A Better Deal. We are 
going to do everything possible to make life better for the people.
